© In höchsten Tönen! Classic in the Crypt: Cat Duet — Duets by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Mozart, and others
Vienna, Peterskirche — Krypta
About the Event
When two voices come together, the result is more than just music—it is dialogue, charm, and tongue‐in‐cheek stagecraft. Entitled “Cat Duet,” the audience can look forward to an entertaining concert evening for soprano and alto with piano accompaniment, beautifully combining virtuosity and humor.
The focus is on Rossini's legendary “Cat Duet,” a musical gem that delights with its charm and tongue‐in‐cheek theatricality. A varied program unfolds around this famous cat duet, featuring rousing opera duets, subtle songs, and surprising musical moments.
Whether spirited verbal exchanges, lyrical beauty of sound, or tongue‐in‐cheek rivalry—soprano and alto merge and contrast at the same time, carried by sensitive piano accompaniment.
The crypt is pleasantly temperate in all seasons.
